Some servers handle special charaters, some dont. Depends on your server encoding. I reccomend using a language pack keyboard for special characters, rather than utf8 encoded characters.
Hi,
I got exactly the same issue as described above. I think that ALL servers manage special characters but, as you mentioned, they may be configured differently (UTF-8, ISO 8859-1, etc.). It is not easy to know which is the configuration of the server, but there should have a way to understand what is expected by the plug-in. I typically have a server with many files. I configured manually the FTP software to display correctly the special characters. The typically working encoding are “windows-1252” or “ISO 8859-1”. But displaying the same files on File Ways shows me strange characters. Finally, I discovered that if I configure the FTP to send file names in UTF-8 on the server, then File Away is displaying them correctly. For me, this is coherent as the whole WordPress encoding is UTF-8 (<meta charset=”UTF-8″>). Maybe there are some other possible configurations. But I would recommend to send files on the server using UTF-8 encoding if it doesn’t work with usual Windows character set.
Regards.
